The third (and last) chapter of my PhD with @kguschan.bsky.social is out on bioRxiv!
Animal domestication is associated with morphological, behavioural and physiological changes and, as was discovered more recently, changes in the gut microbiome 🦠
But what happens to other microbiomes?

Mainland populations are stable probably due to the high dispersal capabilities, but isolated populations on Gotland and the Arctic mountains show lower diversity and high differentiation.
This highlights the power of museomics for tracking real-time evolutionary dynamics in insects! 🐝✨
